 유럽연합의 예루살렘 보고서

 

이스라엘의 동예루살렘 정책을 비판하는 유럽연합의 보고서가 나오면서 유럽과 이스라엘 사이에 갈등이 증가하고 있다고 토론토스타가 보도했다.

 

요지는 이스라엘이 동예루살렘의 인구조성을 바꾸기 위하여 동예루살렘 지역에 팔레스타인인에 대한 연간 200건밖에 건축허가를 내주지 않고 있으며 35%인 아랍인들에 대한 예루살렘 시예산은 5-10%밖에 아랍인들에게 가지 않는다는 것이다. 그리하여 스웨덴을 중심으로한 유럽연합은 앞으로 팔레스타인을 지지하여 동예루살렘을 팔레스타인의 수도로 인정하여야 한다는 것이다.

 

동예루살렘에는 20만의 이스라엘인과 25만의 팔레스타인인이 살고 있으며 솔로몬의 성전터, 다비드의 왕궁터가 있어 사실상 진정한 예루살렘이라 할 수 있다. 오슬로 협정에 의하면 바티칸은 교황청을 이곳 성전터 (알아크사 사원)으로 옮기려하는 것으로 보인다.

 

동예루살렘을 국제자유도시화 하면서 팔레스타인의 수도로 만들려는 책략이 엿보인다.

 

이제 이 시대는 차츰 갈곳으로 가고 있다.

JERUSALEM–Tensions are growing between the European Union and Israel over a draft document that slams Israeli policies in East Jerusalem and calls on EU countries to strengthen Palestinian claims to the city. A second document, to be discussed in Brussels next week, seeks EU recognition of East Jerusalem as capital of a Palestinian state.

In addition, an Israeli human rights group says Israel is stripping Palestinians of their Jerusalem residency permits at a growing rate. The classified report, drafted by European consuls in Jerusalem and the West Bank town of Ramallah, was leaked to the daily Haaretz. Foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor confirmed details in the Haaretz report were correct.

The report accuses the Israeli government and the municipality of working deliberately to change the city's demographic balance and sever East Jerusalem from the West Bank.

Some 200,000 Israelis and 250,000 Palestinians live in East Jerusalem. Israel annexed it in 1967 in a move not recognized by the international community. Palestinians say East Jerusalem must be the capital of a future Palestinian state. The U.S. position is that Jerusalem is among "core issues" to be resolved through negotiations.

The report says 35 per cent of Jerusalem's residents are Arab yet only 5 to 10 per cent of the city's budget goes to Arab neighbourhoods. It also says Palestinians have received fewer than 200 building permits per year for the past several years, while they need another 1,500 housing units per year. The report calls on the EU to become more active to secure Palestinian control over Jerusalem.

"The consuls never contact the Israeli government on any of this, so it is based exclusively on Palestinian information," said Palmor. "Some of the information is simply incorrect." Palmor said he is more concerned about the second document being sent around by Sweden, which currently holds the EU presidency.

The document, to be discussed next week, calls on EU foreign ministers to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state. "This would recognize Palestinian claims to East Jerusalem, but not Israeli claims to West Jerusalem," said Palmor. "The situation with Sweden has become quite tense."

HaMoked (Centre for the Defence of the Individual) said 4,577 East Jerusalem residents had their permits revoked last year. Residency lets Palestinians move freely in the city and Israel, and entitles them to health care and social security.
